Y3 reads for class texts

Having just pulled myself away from the shoe thread, I thought I would get onto something slightly less distracting, but perhpas not as much fun! Any suggestions for great class reads for Y3? Would like to buy some next week to get ready.
Thanks

Roald Dahl is great - I've just spent a few years in Y3 and Goerges Marvellous Medicine, The Twits, Esiotrot, The Giraffe, the Pelly and me all went doen well.
Dick King Smith is another great - The Hodgeheg, Sheep Pig, Harry's Mad.
Michael Morpurgo - The Dancing Bear, Butterfly Lion and Black Queen, Tom's Sausage Lion.
I hope that helps

I agree with the Roald Dahl. We read George's Marvellous Medicine this year. I also try to read them stuff that they might not pick up / get bought as well so that they get a broader diet. They quite liked Mr Majeika (not particularly different but fun!). Also the Genie, Genie, Genie trilogy by Anne Fine - three linked stories - the one entitled A Sudden Puff of Glittering Smoke is the best IMO. We've done The Twits as a literacy book - (dialogue and playscripts), also Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett.when doing letter writing. I've read one called You've got Dragons as a link to PSHCE and fears - generates lots of discussion. We've also done lots of poetry as quick reads. That's all I can think of from the top of my head but I'll look at my shelf next week when I go in because I'm sure I've missed some.
